Carbon neutral fertiliser production and use to be discussed at Agri-TechE event on 24 March. Would this reduce the agricultural sector’s greenhouse gas emissions? Food production accounts for 26% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This reduces the amount of ammonia released whilst eliminating methane emissions.

A group of exciting start-ups are exploring whether the world's trash mountains could become a valuable source of low carbon hydrogen fuels. Hydrogen from waste is an even smaller fish than hydrogen from renewable energy. There are only a few waste-to-hydrogen projects, most which are in early stages and relatively small scale.

In the initial phase, 25 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year of green methane, from which more than half a million metric tons of hydrogen can be produced, will be imported into Wilhelmshaven. The phase-out from coal, natural gas, and nuclear has already started. Clean hydrogen will be utilized as a bridging fuel in the early years.
